- Abstract : Background: Propensity score (PS) regression analysis can be used to minimize differences between cohorts in order to perform comparisons The aim of this study was to use PS analysis to examine the outcomes of oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) treatment with surgery alone or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by surgery (NACS), to see whether the benefits seen in a randomized trial (MRC OE02) were reproducible in a UK cancer network clinical practice. Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing potentially curative treatment for OAC in a regional cancer network were studied. Multiple regression models, including PS analysis, were developed to account for confounding factors. Primary outcome measures were disease‐free (DFS) and overall (OS) survival. Results: A cohort of 440 patients was included in a regression analysis controlling for confounders (176 surgery alone, 264 NACS). NACS was associated with a higher positive margin status rate compared with surgery alone (42·4 versus 26·7 per cent respectively; P < 0·001), an inferior 5‐year DFS rate (32·1 versus 56·9 per cent; P < 0·001) and a worse 5‐year OS rate (27·5 versus 47·3 per cent; P < 0·001). On regression adjustment based on propensity scores, NACS was not associated with DFS ( P = 0·220) or OS ( P = 0·431). The Mandard tumour regression grade (TRG) score was significantly associated with DFS (hazard ratio (HR) 0·21, 95 per cent c.i. 0·07 to 0·70) and OS (HR 0·27, 0·13 to 0·59). Five‐year DFS and OSAbstract : Background: Propensity score (PS) regression analysis can be used to minimize differences between cohorts in order to perform comparisons The aim of this study was to use PS analysis to examine the outcomes of oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) treatment with surgery alone or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by surgery (NACS), to see whether the benefits seen in a randomized trial (MRC OE02) were reproducible in a UK cancer network clinical practice.

On regression adjustment based on propensity scores, NACS was not associated with DFS ( P = 0·220) or OS ( P = 0·431). The Mandard tumour regression grade (TRG) score was significantly associated with DFS (hazard ratio (HR) 0·21, 95 per cent c.i. 0·07 to 0·70) and OS (HR 0·27, 0·13 to 0·59). Five‐year DFS and OS rates related to TRG were 64 and 62 per cent respectively for 25 good responders versus 8·0 and 8·6 per cent for 127 poor responders ( P < 0·001). Conclusion: The prescription of NAC to all patients with OAC risks delay in effective treatment of patients who are relatively chemoresistant, given the variability in pathological response. Identification of patients with OAC who may derive the most benefit from NAC should be the focus. Abstract : Following propensity adjustment for stage, age and sex, neoadjuvant therapy was not associated with survival. Tumour regression is a powerful prognostic indicator, and future research should focus on identifying patients who will derive the most benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. New approaches needed to identify non‐responders to chemotherapy Abstract : Antecedentes: El análisis de regresión por puntaje de propensión ( propensity score, PS) puede ser utilizado para minimizar las diferencias entre cohortes a la hora de hacer comparaciones. El objetivo de este estudio fue utilizar el PS para analizar los resultados del tratamiento del adenocarcinoma de esófago ( oesophageal adenocarcinoma, OAC), tanto con cirugia sola ( surgery, S) o con quimioterapia neoadyuvante ( neoadjuvant chemotherapy, NAC) seguida de cirugía (NACS) para determinar si los beneficios del ensayo aleatorizado MRC OE02 eran reproducibles en la práctica clínica de una red de cáncer del Reino Unido. Métodos: Se estudiaron pacientes consecutivos sometidos a tratamiento potencialmente curativo por OAC en una red de cáncer regional. Se desarrollaron modelos de regresión múltiple, incluyendo PS, para poder ajustar por factores de confusión. Las medidas de resultado primario fueron supervivencia libre de enfermedad ( disease‐free survival, DFS) y la supervivencia global ( overall survival, OS). Resultados: Se incluyó una cohorte de 440 pacientes en un análisis de regresión controlando por factores de confusión (176 S, 264 NACS). NACS se asoció con margen positivo (NACS versus S, 42, 4% versus 26, 7%, P < 0, 001), menor DFS a los 5 años (32, 1% versus 56, 9, P < 0, 001) y peor OS a los 5 años (27, 5% versus 47, 3%, P < 0, 001). En el ajuste de la regresión basada en las puntuaciones de propensión, NACS no se asoció a DFS ( P = 0, 220) ni a OS ( P = 0, 431). El grado de regresión tumoral de Mandard ( tumour regression grade, TRG) se asoció significativamente con DFS (cociente de riesgos instantáneos, hazard ra tio, HR 0, 21, i.c. del 95% 0, 13‐0, 59). La DFS y OS a los 5 años en relación con TRG fue 63, 6% y 61, 5% versus 8, 0% y 8, 6% ( P < 0, 001) para buenos y pobres respondedores, respectivamente. Conclusión: La indicación de NAC a todos los pacientes con OAC representa un riesgo de demorar un tratamiento efectivo para aquellos pacientes que son relativamente quimiorresistentes, dada la variabilidad en la respuesta patológica. Identificar a los pacientes con OAC que obtendrían el mayor beneficio de la NAC debería centrar el foco de atención. … (more)
